[NR] northern names process

[Kevinkeary]

Apropos of that, I would like to ask for volunteers from the heralds of the region to review these names and any others that come in, share commentary with each other and see which ones we can document as in keeping with period placenames and otherwise likely to be registerable.

I volunteer to facilitate and coordinate, but I personally am not a name-consultant herald by any stretch of the imagination. Please contact me if you are willing or interested.

Like Vincenti, I understand and agree with your frustration. And I am working at 
he sorted list from the top down.
But I am just one volunteer and the reason I didn't step up to the plate before 
his was the volume of initial submissions. 
Call it lazy but I prefer to see what people wanted in order to address a 
upported (by the populace) subset. Some will not fly but others will...even if 
hey take a little work.

Thanks - Oh, and to clarify, I wasn't upset at Emma. She did the right 
hing.
t was the news I read, not the messenger, that got me upset.
 for one am glad we have someone like Emma in Ansteorra
e could use another dozen or so just like her.

I understand you completely. I was not happy with the idea of someone 
saying that it should tossed and restarted. There are a number of people 
that have worked very hard to try to make this smooth. I know of people 
that drove one way for 3 or 4 hours to get to one of the meetings and then 
left after the meeting (due to work and family they could not stay for the 
event).

 My favorite names did not make the cut:-(  but my least favorite names did 
 not either:-)  So although my favorite is not being chosen I still support 
 the process and those kind people that have stepped forward to run the 
 process and have tried to come up with names.

 I also would ask the heralds that may be researching the names (I believe 
 that Tadhg was trying to help coordinate some of those efforts) to see if 
 a slight modification to the name would make it work so that it would 
 pass. The change may cause it to lose favor but at least the populace 
 would have the chance to voice their opinion.
